Chapter 49: Can’t Rest Assured Unless I See Yiling
From Sidekick to Bigshot
âNope, these are for Yiling.âJian Yujie panted as he replied to Grandma Jian. He continued to move the parcels with the driver and the servants.
âFor Yiling? What did you buy her?â Grandma Jian asked. She wondered why Yujie had bought so many things.
âThere are quite a few plushies. Yiling most likely had them at home but didnât bring them along when she moved here. I bought a few that she can leave in her room. Thereâs also a few bags and stationary.â
Yesterday, Jian Yujie went to the mall after school. He spent a lot of his money and emptied his wallet to buy these things.
Every year, the children of the Jian family got quite a lot of money from their elders in their red pockets. However, Jian Yujieâs savings were quite limited.
This was because his mother didnât agree to let him become a magician. As a result, he could only buy things that were related to magic in secret.
And after his mother found out that he had been spending money on these things, she had decided to not give him any living expenses. Anything that he needed, she would buy for him instead.
âSo you only think about buying things for Yiling? What about for Grandma?â Grandma Jian teased.
âGrandma...â Jian Yujie replied in an embarrassed tone.
âItâs fine. Grandma is just teasing you. Itâs good that you can spend more time with Yiling. She hasnât been sleeping well recently.â
Jian Yiling had been sleeping for quite a short time recently. Grandma Jian assumed that she wasnât sleeping well.
âYiling hasnât been sleeping well? I can go buy her some aromatherapy that will assist her in sleeping. Iâve also heard that some scented tea can help and also...â
Jian Yujie began to mentally search for things that would help someone sleep. He was ready to make a list of things to buy.
âOkay, okay, look at you thinking so much. It makes it seem like Iâm abusing Yiling or something! Iâve bought everything you have thought of already! Yiling is already using them!â
Grandma Jian couldnât stand watching him anymore. Did he think that she wouldnât care for her darling?
Jian Yujie scratched his head in embarrassment. As long as Grandma Jian was here, no one would mistreat Yiling.
âOh, by the way, where is Yiling? Has she gotten out of bed yet?â Jian Yujie asked. He had been at the door for a while and he hadnât yet seen Jian Yiling.
âNope. She already went to the Yu Residence for a while!â
âHuh? So early? Isnât the party in the evening?â
âYu Xi came early. He said that he would take Yiling over first. I didnât stop him.â
All the things Jian Yujie had heard from rumors popped into his head. He immediately thought about Zhai Yunshengâs evil face.
âGrandma, Iâm going to go next door first! Please ask someone to move those things into Yilingâs room!â
After shouting that, Jian Yujie took off and ran.
Grandma Jian couldnât help but laugh. As soon as this child heard that Yiling went to the Yu Residence, he took off and ran. He couldnât wait a moment longer.
Jian Yujie hurried over to the Yu Residence. At this time, none of the people invited by Yu Xi had arrived at the party.
âYoung Master Yujie, why are you here?â
The housekeeper of the Yu Residence recognized Jian Yujie.
âWhere is my sister?â Jian Yujie asked anxiously.
âMiss Yiling is resting right now. Young Master said to let Miss Yiling sleep for a while and not to disturb her.â
To improve the quality of Jian Yilingâs sleep, they had organized her to sleep in an attic that was the furthest away from the main lobby.
âWhere is that? Let me see.â
Jian Yujie was skeptical of the housekeeperâs words.
Who knew if what they were saying was true or not?
He would only believe them if he saw Yiling.
Although Yu Xi was a person of good character, Zhai Yunsheng did not appear to be. Master Sheng seemed like the type that could do anything.
âYoung Master Yujie. This...â The housekeeper is put in an awkward situation by Jian Yujie.
